While Matt has been out of town, I have been doing a little bit of this & that. The pictures above show you specifically what I've been doing. I been cleaning (using my new favorite cleaning product). I have, obviously, been taking care of Syd. I took her to the doctor the other day for her 9 month weight and height measurements. She weighs around 19 lbs and is about 29 inches tall. She's my tall, skinny baby with food all over her face in the picture.
I've sewn a purse for a good friend (brown lacework fabric) and a new diaper bag for me (green peony fabric). All Amy Butler - of course!! I have I told you that I love Amy Butler! No worries, I just got her new book so I'm sure more goodies will be posted. I just don't know what to make next. There's so much to choose from.
Okay, getting back on track...I have made a tutu for Syd. I know you are saying "A tutu?" Yes - a tutu. I went into this baby boutique in St. Augustine and I saw a little girl tutu. I said (as I always do) "I'm not paying $25 for that! I can make it." So, I did. I haven't put her in it yet. I'll post a picture when I do. Maybe I'll save it for Halloween - you know it'll be here in a blink of an eye!
Finally, I've been eating my new love - Nutella. If you haven't tried it, you better RUN not walk to your nearest grocery store and buy some. All I can say is YUMMY! I love the Ferroro Rocher chocolates and the Nutella tastes just like them. It's all about the chocolate & hazelnuts. My recommendation is to eat it with pretzels or strawberries. Talking about all this Nutella has made me hungry - I'm off to crash on the couch and eat some with strawberries.

I too LOVE Nutella!! If you're feeling industrious, you can spread it on crepes. Thats the way I first tried it, I've been hooked ever since.
The purses look fabulous. I'll keep an eye out for the BexBoutique: For the Stylish Mom online store soon. :)
I'm glad you're having fun while the 2nd Vice President is out. (We all know Syd's in charge, you are the 1st Vice.) :)

Is that cleaner the Mrs. Myers stuff? I've heard about it. Where did you buy it?
Yes, it is Mrs. Meyers. I bought it at World Market. I like it because it smells good and cleans really well. Also, if you go to their website, I think they have a link of where you can buy it in your area.
I have never heard of the cleaner. Is it an all purpose clearner?
The purse did look FABulous! I need to get together with you and do some fun stuff like that. I loved the tutu too. I saw it when I was at your house thursday! Way cute!
